The managers of Harbor Lights
deserve well of the public for the
manner in which they kept faith
with it last evening. The scenery
was a specially marked feature of
the performance, and all brought
from San Francisco. The small
theater at Reno was not large
enough for the tall fats, but on the
Opera House stage the scene shift
ers had full swing, and presented
some very novel effects. The ship
scene in the second act, and the re-
volving scene in the fourth act were
very fine, and drew forth the
hearty applause of the audience.
The play, which is very strong
melodrama, was admirably rem
dered. Miss George Woodthorpe
appeared to much better advantage
than when last here, in the charac-
ter of Dora Vane the heroine, and
Charles Edmund's rendition of
David Kingsley was excellent.
Mr.. F. A. Cooper is very anus
ing comedian, and the cast through
out was very strong and well adapt
ed to the piece.
The same performance will be re-
peated this evening, and there
ought to be still larger audience.
The scenery alone is worth the price
of admission.

1 toI anu MISS Day a.u, WIZ OHi1
knew Jim by hearing his name as
Senator from Nevada, was silly
enough to think that he meant what
| he said. She was flattered of course
and besides she had an eye to her
brothers. chances, and knew that he
was not an unlikely candidate for
the Presidency. So she took Jim
up and made a good deal of him,
promoted his social success aud saw
to it that her brother loaned the
Nevadan the cloak of his honesty
and responsibility when his own gar
ments were not ample enough to en-
able him to make a decent public
appearance.
The Bayards are a power in
Washington, and Jim soon had the
entry to lot of nice houses. For
time he was as happy as cross be-
tween Sly, the tinker, and Mephis-
topheles could be, but the day of
reckoning came at last.
The time of a Presidential cam
paign drew near and BayArd was a
candidate, with several delegations
at his back. Jim Fairs half mil
lion was big thing, and one day a
trusty friend of Bayard approached
the Nevada man.
81 understand, Senator Fair, that
you are warm friend of Senator
Bayard, and have expressed a de-
sire to help him to the Presidency"
said the gentleman.
"Quite right sir. It's the fond
est wish of my heart to assist at the
Inauguration of President Bayard, a
man SIR"
Eyes, yes; but the time has
come when you can help him ma
terially. Money is needed to elect
favorable delegations In several
States, and 1 understand that you
stand ready to help to the extent of
half a million dollars if necessary"
Jim turned pale; he remembered
his bloviating talk to Miss Bayard,
and he felt that he was in a bad
hole. But an inspiration seized
him and grasping his visitor by the
hand he said warmingly: "James
g. Fair is a man of his word. /
said had hall a million to help
Bayard become President, and, by
God sir, meant it. I'll spend half
a million to carry Nevada for him."
but, sir, said the astonished
statesman" half a million Is not
needed in Nevada in fact the vote
of Nevada is of no use to us any
how. We want strength in the
Eastern and New England States,
and it is there that money is need
ed"
"I'll carry Nevada" said Fair
81 make my money
there, and there is where I'll spend
it. They shan't say that James G.
Fair got rich in Nevada only to
spend his money in Rhode Island
or Massachusetts,"
The interviewing statesman saw
the pretense, and said caustically:
"I think, sir, that Bayard need not
look for any help from you. What
you profer is foolish. Good day."

ANARCHY AT A DISCOUNT.
A FAVORABLE CHARGE FAILS TO SAVE
JOHN MOST FROM JAIL.

Jake Sharpe Gets Respite from the
Court of Appeals-The Western Union
Announces a Reduction of Rates-A
Heavy Dry Goods Firm goes Into Liqui-
dation-Gotham Gleanings.
New YORK, Nov. SO.-Johann Most was
on the witness stand in his own behalf Tues
day in Judge Cowing's court. He denied in
general and particular the charges against
him of incendiary language and threats
against the court officials of Chicago. De-
scribing state of anarchy he said it would
be one without commerce, but in which there
should be communities of men, among whom
wealth was equally distributed. There would
be Scientific schools where both sexes should
be educated in the same way. He believed in
force. The difficulty caused by capital will
most likely end in revolution. "Our princi-
ple,n he said. 'is peaceably if we can; forci-
bly, if We must" He thought that in the COM
ing revolution explosives will be used on
both sides. Dynamite bombs are more eff
fective than cannon.
Most being asked if he believed in a God
who punished perjury. a discussion took
place, during which Judge Cowing said the
tendency is to abolish the oath put to wit
nesses He believed that if man was put
on the stand without an oath he would tell
the truth as quickly as with one He be-
lieved the Bible had no effect on witness.
The credibility of the witness was in the
hands of the jury Most said he did not be-
lieve in God As to first cause he could
only say with Socrates that we know that
We know nothing. He believed perjury
would be punished on earth.
The speeches were limited to one hour for
each side and when they were concluded
Judge Cowing instructed the jury. He said
free speech did not include SANDER or incite-
ment to riot, but that he failed to find any
thing in the speech of Most as he gave it at
the trial that came within the statute.
The jury went out at $50 p m, and re-
turned at 10 2. m. with a verdict of guilty"
The verdict created general surprise, as
the prevailing impression had been that
the evidence was insufficient The judges
charge was also considered to be in Mosts
favor MIR. Howe moved for new trial, and
argument on the motion will be heard next
Monday. Sentence was therefore deferred.
Most will be locked up in the Tombs until the
question of a new trial is decided
On the first ballot the jury stood seven for
acquittal and five for conviction After

to Wind Up Their Business.

controlling several large mills, and supposed
to have abundant capital for their immense
trade. The principal places of business of

and 81 Bedford street. Boston. They also
had stores in Philadelphia and Chicago
Early in October rumors were circulated
in the trade in this city ard Boston that the
immense business of the firm was feeling the
effect of the stringency in the money market
This had the effect of uusettiing their credit
in this market, and when the formal an
nouncement was made that the firm would
go into liquidation and give up business,
there was no surprise in the trade, as it had
already been discounted by the prevailing re-
ports in circulation.
Mr. William l. Brown, one of the part
ners. said that it was true that the firm was
lquidating; that the entire business would
be wound up and that no new firm would
be formed. He thought it would require
some months to close up The firm, he said
had about 5000, 900 Endorsements awhile
ago but large part of the paper had been
taken up, and the rest would be taken care
of in a few days The firm, he said, was
perfectly solvent and would have large sur
